Vacation movies.
They all star Chevy Chase with various cast members trying to make the best out of time away from work or in this case, trying to survive the holidays with family.
In this version, Clark has the same difficulty flipping the light switch as in the original 1989 movie, but instead of the circuit breaker being flipped on, the electric charging station is connected to the new electric car.
By the way, the new car - which is really an SUV and not very similar to Mustangs of old looks really interesting.
Here s a review of the new Mustang Mach-E
Chase thanked Ford Motor for the role as well as an undisclosed amount of money he was paid for the ad: It s great to be back for another Christmas with my on-screen family and its rotating assortment of kids – and I have Ford and Mustang Mach-E to thank for paying me to do it, he said in a statement. I suppose you re expecting some sort of riff on electric cars, but I can say with 85% certainty that this thing probably won t cause any blackouts in your neighborhood when you plug it in.
Ford published the ad on YouTube ahead of its scheduled broadcast debut Tuesday during an encore broadcast of Saturday Night Live s Christmas special at 9 p.m. on NBC.

Monster Hunter Movie Tops The Box Office But Took $15 Million Less Than The First Resident Evil Film
The movie adaptation of Capcom s best-selling
Monster Hunter series hasn t had the smoothest route to market. Following concerns from fans that the film would deviate too much from the source material, it had the misfortune of launching during a global pandemic which has seen cinemas closing all over the world. To top things off, a scene in the movie proved to be offensive to Chinese viewers, robbing Monster Hunter of success in what was set to be its key market.
Despite all of this, Paul W. S. Anderson s Monster Hunter flick has finally limped to cinemas in North America, where it has gone straight in at number one in its first weekend on release. That might normally be cause for celebration, but the Coronavirus pandemic has utterly ravaged the U.S. box office – so much so that $2.2 million was all that was required to grab first position.
